The Ride from Gunnison to Durango crosses the Continental Divide twice.  It runs down past Lake City and Cannibal Plateau, up Slumgullion Pass, then down into Creede and the headwaters of the Rio Grande. The Silver Thread Highway continues down the valley through Wagon Wheel Gap, ending in South Fork ....then comes Wolf Creek Pass.  Wolf Creek Pass is an adventure.  Ask anyone who's been over it -- it's a monster.  Then it's a quick glide into Durango.
